HC Deb 13 July 1915 vol 73 cc738-9
26. Sir JOSEPH WALTON

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the French Government have appointed two additional Under-Secretaries of State for War and have under consideration the question of similarly strengthening the staff in other Departments affected by the War; and whether, in this time of pressure, he will consider the advisability of the adoption of the same methods in this country?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

The Government are constantly alive to the necessity of making provision that the Departments dealing with the War shall be adequately staffed.
